Chapter 161: The Hospital

But now, Lin Shiyun and Lin Yu, standing beside Xu Liwen, could clearly see the changes on his face. Xu Liwen's complexion had turned pale and unhealthy, with beads of sweat as large as beans forming on his forehead. It was evident how deeply the contents of that phone call had shaken him.

On the other end of the line, hearing Xu Liwen’s words, the response came again: "Old hands are always cunning. Rong Lan wields influence within the Rong family but still cannot rival the family head. Thus, even though they secretly hope that Huaxia would disagree and thereby exclude it from the event, they still must consult Huaxia’s opinion."

Not only officials but also the Embroidered Uniform Guards and palace eunuchs were involved. At the forefront were Wang Yue, the chief eunuch of the Department of Ceremonial, followed by Zhang Zhao of the Imperial Stable, and Mou Bin, commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

When Zui Tu and Zui Tianxing heard Bai Feng’s words, they were stunned. What was that supposed to mean? Nonsense about boosting power—could it really increase so much?

Through the memories he had merged with, Bai Feng understood that cultivators in this world were divided into nine major realms: Body Tempering, Spirit Condensation, Spirit Sea, Source Transformation, Infant Integration, Divine Soaring, Heavenly Veins, Celestial Connection, and Divine Underworld, each further subdivided into nine tiers.

Just now, Wang Ji had flicked a shuriken with one hand. After it was shot, another appeared in the shadow. In hindsight, Wang Ji had only drawn his attention; while his eyes were fixated on the first shuriken, Wang Ji had secretly launched a second one.

Facing such a ruthless person capable of reversing time itself, the first thing was to avoid armed confrontation—it would be suicide. If combat was off the table, the priority was to understand the opponent’s intent; otherwise, what could be done?

For most people, once wealth was attained, it was simply to satisfy desires of food and pleasure or to seek a body blessed with longevity and eternal happiness.

Now, the two awaited the bell signaling the start of class. Su Yuxue felt a flutter of nervousness under Lin Ye’s intense gaze.

At this moment, the Sea of True Energy, which had originally occupied more than half of the True Energy Pill’s space, was now reduced to about a tenth.

The fourth brother performed a mid-air leap, caught by You Hui’s intact hand, yet his eyes remained vacant as he sobbed uncontrollably.

The machine powered back on but did not print Conan’s photo. Instead, it displayed a program error. Only Gao Cheng had obtained results.

Across the way, Mo Xiu’s jet-black eyes shimmered with dark light, his expression grave. Facing Yan Bo, he sensed a trace of danger.

Regarding attributes, it is not the case that having more attributes necessarily makes one stronger than someone with a single attribute.

Perhaps this was the price she paid for snatching someone else’s opportunity—‘Tears of the Devil.’ She looked at the puddle of water and now felt like shedding a few tears herself, fitting the name of the ornament.

The Absolute Sword Immortal was right; the mortal realm was truly a place for calming one’s heart. A year had passed, and although outwardly little seemed to have changed, Li Shang could feel that his own heart had grown somewhat more peaceful.

“Su Qian said she couldn’t endure the intense military training and submitted an application to end it. Since she is an international student, the school, considering the academic ties between the two countries, approved her request, allowing her to officially conclude her training,” An Xiaoli explained.
